Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) is designed with the assumption that frequencies of CPUs follow their utilization value. When using a CPUFreq governor other than schedutil, the chances of this assumption being true are small, if any. When schedutil is being used, EAS' predictions are at least consistent with the frequency requests. Although those requests have no guarantees to be honored by the hardware, they should at least guide DVFS in the right direction and provide some hope in regards to the EAS model being accurate. To make sure EAS is only used in a sane configuration, create a strong dependency on schedutil being used. Since having sugov compiled-in does not provide that guarantee, make CPUFreq call a scheduler function on governor changes hence letting it rebuild the scheduling domains, check the governors of the online CPUs, and enable/disable EAS accordingly.

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) in its current form is most relevant on platforms with asymmetric CPU topologies (e.g. Arm big.LITTLE) since this is where there is a lot of potential for saving energy through scheduling. This is particularly true since the Energy Model only includes the active power costs of CPUs, hence not providing enough data to compare packing-vs-spreading strategies. As such, disable EAS on root domains where the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is not set. While at it, disable EAS on systems where the complexity of the Energy Model is too high since that could lead to unacceptable scheduling overhead. All in all, EAS can be used on a root domain if and only if: 1. an Energy Model is available; 2. the root domain has an asymmetric CPU capacity topology; 3. the complexity of the root domain's EM is low enough to keep scheduling overheads low.

Add another member to the family of per-cpu sched_domain shortcut pointers. This one, sd_asym_cpucapacity, points to the lowest level at which the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set. While at it, rename the sd_asym shortcut to sd_asym_packing to avoid confusions. Generally speaking, the largest opportunity to save energy via scheduling comes from a smarter exploitation of heterogeneous platforms (i.e. big.LITTLE). Consequently, the sd_asym_cpucapacity shortcut will be used at first as the lowest domain where Energy-Aware Scheduling (EAS) should be applied. For example, it is possible to apply EAS within a socket on a multi-socket system, as long as each socket has an asymmetric topology. Energy-aware cross-sockets wake-up balancing will only happen when the system is over-utilized, or this_cpu and prev_cpu are in different sockets.

The existing scheduling domain hierarchy is defined to map to the cache topology of the system. However, Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) requires more knowledge about the platform, and specifically needs to know about the span of Performance Domains (PD), which do not always align with caches. To address this issue, use the Energy Model (EM) of the system to extend the scheduler topology code with a representation of the PDs, alongside the scheduling domains. More specifically, a linked list of PDs is attached to each root domain. When multiple root domains are in use, each list contains only the PDs covering the CPUs of its root domain. If a PD spans over CPUs of multiple different root domains, it will be duplicated in all lists. The lists are fully maintained by the scheduler from partition_sched_domains() in order to cope with hotplug and cpuset changes. As for scheduling domains, the list are protected by RCU to ensure safe concurrent updates.

Several subsystems in the kernel (task scheduler and/or thermal at the time of writing) can benefit from knowing about the energy consumed by CPUs. Yet, this information can come from different sources (DT or firmware for example), in different formats, hence making it hard to exploit without a standard API. As an attempt to address this, introduce a centralized Energy Model (EM) management framework which aggregates the power values provided by drivers into a table for each performance domain in the system. The power cost tables are made available to interested clients (e.g. task scheduler or thermal) via platform-agnostic APIs. The overall design is represented by the diagram below (focused on Arm-related drivers as an example, but applicable to any architecture): +---------------+ +-----------------+ +-------------+ | Thermal (IPA) | | Scheduler (EAS) | | Other | +---------------+ +-----------------+ +-------------+ | | em_pd_energy() | | | em_cpu_get() | +-----------+ | +--------+ | | | v v v +---------------------+ | | | Energy Model | | | | Framework | | | +---------------------+ ^ ^ ^ | | | em_register_perf_domain() +----------+ | +---------+ | | | +---------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ | cpufreq-dt | | arm_scmi | | Other | +---------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ ^ ^ ^ | | | +--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ | Device Tree | | Firmware | | ? | +--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ Drivers (typically, but not limited to, CPUFreq drivers) can register data in the EM framework using the em_register_perf_domain() API. The calling driver must provide a callback function with a standardized signature that will be used by the EM framework to build the power cost tables of the performance domain. This design should offer a lot of flexibility to calling drivers which are free of reading information from any location and to use any technique to compute power costs. Moreover, the capacity states registered by drivers in the EM framework are not required to match real performance states of the target. This is particularly important on targets where the performance states are not known by the OS. The power cost coefficients managed by the EM framework are specified in milli-watts. Although the two potential users of those coefficients (IPA and EAS) only need relative correctness, IPA specifically needs to compare the power of CPUs with the power of other components (GPUs, for example), which are still expressed in absolute terms in their respective subsystems. Hence, specifying the power of CPUs in milli-watts should help transitioning IPA to using the EM framework without introducing new problems by keeping units comparable across sub-systems. On the longer term, the EM of other devices than CPUs could also be managed by the EM framework, which would enable to remove the absolute unit. However, this is not absolutely required as a first step, so this extension of the EM framework is left for later. On the client side, the EM framework offers APIs to access the power cost tables of a CPU (em_cpu_get()), and to estimate the energy consumed by the CPUs of a performance domain (em_pd_energy()). Clients such as the task scheduler can then use these APIs to access the shared data structures holding the Energy Model of CPUs.

Schedutil requests frequency by aggregating utilization signals from the scheduler (CFS, RT, DL, IRQ) and applying a 25% margin on top of them. Since Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) needs to be able to predict the frequency requests, it needs to forecast the decisions made by the governor. In order to prepare the introduction of EAS, introduce schedutil_freq_util() to centralize the aforementioned signal aggregation and make it available to both schedutil and EAS. Since frequency selection and energy estimation still need to deal with RT and DL signals slightly differently, schedutil_freq_util() is called with a different 'type' parameter in those two contexts, and returns an aggregated utilization signal accordingly. While at it, introduce the map_util_freq() function which is designed to make schedutil's 25% margin usable easily for both sugov and EAS. As EAS will be able to predict schedutil's frequency requests more accurately than any other governor by design, it'd be sensible to make sure EAS cannot be used without schedutil. This will be done later, once EAS has actually been introduced.

::smt_gain is used to compute the capacity of CPUs of a SMT core with the constraint 1 < ::smt_gain < 2 in order to be able to compute number of CPUs per core. The field has_free_capacity of struct numa_stat, which was the last user of this computation of number of CPUs per core, has been removed by: 2d4056fa ("sched/numa: Remove numa_has_capacity()") We can now remove this constraint on core capacity and use the defautl value SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE for SMT CPUs. With this remove, SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE becomes the maximum compute capacity of CPUs on every systems. This should help to simplify some code and remove fields like rd->max_cpu_capacity Furthermore, arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is used with a NULL sd in several other places in the code when it wants the capacity of a CPUs to scale some metrics like in pelt, deadline or schedutil. In case on SMT, the value returned is not the capacity of SMT CPUs but default SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE. So remove it.

The macros PCI_EXP_LNKCAP_SLS_*GB are values, not bit masks. We must mask the register and compare it against them. This fixes errors like this: amdgpu: [powerplay] failed to send message 261 ret is 0 when a PCIe-v3 card is plugged into a PCIe-v1 slot, because the slot is being incorrectly reported as PCIe-v3 capable. 6cf57be0, which appeared in v4.17, added pcie_get_speed_cap() with the incorrect test of PCI_EXP_LNKCAP_SLS as a bitmask. 5d9a6330, which appeared in v4.19, changed amdgpu to use pcie_get_speed_cap(), so the amdgpu bug reports below are regressions in v4.19.

The linux-mips.org infrastructure has been unreliable recently & nobody with sufficient access to fix it is around to do so.

ocfs2_get_dentry() calls iput(inode) to drop the reference count of inode, and if the reference count hits 0, inode is freed. However, in this function, it then reads inode->i_generation, which may result in a use after free bug. Move the put operation later.

collapse_shmem()'s xas_nomem() is very unlikely to fail, but it is rightly given a failure path, so move the whole xas_create_range() block up before __SetPageLocked(new_page): so that it does not need to remember to unlock_page(new_page).

collapse_shmem()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTransCompound) was unsafe: before it holds page lock of the first page, racing truncation then extension might conceivably have inserted a hugepage there already. Fail with the SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND result, instead of crashing (CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) or otherwise mishandling the unexpected hugepage - though later we might code up a more constructive way of handling it, with SCAN_SUCCESS.

khugepaged's collapse_shmem() does almost all of its work, to assemble the huge new_page from 512 scattered old pages, with the new_page's refcount frozen to 0 (and refcounts of all old pages so far also frozen to 0). Including shmem_getpage() to read in any which were out on swap, memory reclaim if necessary to allocate their intermediate pages, and copying over all the data from old to new. Imagine the frozen refcount as a spinlock held, but without any lock debugging to highlight the abuse: it's not good, and under serious load heads into lockups - speculative getters of the page are not expecting to spin while khugepaged is rescheduled. One can get a little further under load by hacking around elsewhere; but fortunately, freezing the new_page turns out to have been entirely unnecessary, with no hacks needed elsewhere. The huge new_page lock is already held throughout, and guards all its subpages as they are brought one by one into the page cache tree; and anything reading the data in that page, without the lock, before it has been marked PageUptodate, would already be in the wrong. So simply eliminate the freezing of the new_page. Each of the old pages remains frozen with refcount 0 after it has been replaced by a new_page subpage in the page cache tree, until they are all unfrozen on success or failure: just as before. They could be unfrozen sooner, but cause no problem once no longer visible to find_get_entry(), filemap_map_pages() and other speculative lookups.

Huge tmpfs testing reminds us that there is no __GFP_ZERO in the gfp flags khugepaged uses to allocate a huge page - in all common cases it would just be a waste of effort - so collapse_shmem() must remember to clear out any holes that it instantiates. The obvious place to do so, where they are put into the page cache tree, is not a good choice: because interrupts are disabled there. Leave it until further down, once success is assured, where the other pages are copied (before setting PageUptodate).

Huge tmpfs testing on a shortish file mapped into a pmd-rounded extent hit shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) followed by clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_data.nrpages) when the file was later closed and unlinked. khugepaged's collapse_shmem() was forgetting to update mapping->nrpages on the rollback path, after it had added but then needs to undo some holes. There is indeed an irritating asymmetry between shmem_charge(), whose callers want it to increment nrpages after successfully accounting blocks, and shmem_uncharge(), when __delete_from_page_cache() already decremented nrpages itself: oh well, just add a comment on that to them both. And shmem_recalc_inode() is supposed to be called when the accounting is expected to be in balance (so it can deduce from imbalance that reclaim discarded some pages): so change shmem_charge() to update nrpages earlier (though it's rare for the difference to matter at all).

Huge tmpfs testing, on 32-bit kernel with lockdep enabled, showed that __split_huge_page() was using i_size_read() while holding the irq-safe lru_lock and page tree lock, but the 32-bit i_size_read() uses an irq-unsafe seqlock which should not be nested inside them. Instead, read the i_size earlier in split_huge_page_to_list(), and pass the end offset down to __split_huge_page(): all while holding head page lock, which is enough to prevent truncation of that extent before the page tree lock has been taken.

Huge tmpfs stress testing has occasionally hit shmem_undo_range()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != index, page). Move the setting of mapping and index up before the page_ref_unfreeze() in __split_huge_page_tail() to fix this: so that a page cache lookup cannot get a reference while the tail's mapping and index are unstable. In fact, might as well move them up before the smp_wmb(): I don't see an actual need for that, but if I'm missing something, this way round is safer than the other, and no less efficient. You might argue that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_to_pgoff(page) != index, page) is misplaced, and should be left until after the trylock_page(); but left as is has not crashed since, and gives more stringent assurance.

The term "freeze" is used in several ways in the kernel, and in mm it has the particular meaning of forcing page refcount temporarily to 0. freeze_page() is just too confusing a name for a function that unmaps a page: rename it unmap_page(), and rename unfreeze_page() remap_page(). Went to change the mention of freeze_page() added later in mm/rmap.c, but found it to be incorrect: ordinary page reclaim reaches there too; but the substance of the comment still seems correct, so edit it down.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others. With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to make it easier: 1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled unless a user requests it at boot-time. To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=. 2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs when the feature is disabled. In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says: : The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against : your patch and a vanilla kernel : : 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 : kconfigdisable-v1r1 vanilla psidisable-v1r1 : Amean 1 1.3100 ( 0.00%) 1.3923 ( -6.28%) 1.3427 ( -2.49%) : Amean 3 3.8860 ( 0.00%) 4.1230 * -6.10%* 3.8860 ( -0.00%) : Amean 5 6.8847 ( 0.00%) 8.0390 * -16.77%* 6.7727 ( 1.63%) : Amean 7 9.9310 ( 0.00%) 10.8367 * -9.12%* 9.9910 ( -0.60%) : Amean 12 16.6577 ( 0.00%) 18.2363 * -9.48%* 17.1083 ( -2.71%) : Amean 18 26.5133 ( 0.00%) 27.8833 * -5.17%* 25.7663 ( 2.82%) : Amean 24 34.3003 ( 0.00%) 34.6830 ( -1.12%) 32.0450 ( 6.58%) : Amean 30 40.0063 ( 0.00%) 40.5800 ( -1.43%) 41.5087 ( -3.76%) : Amean 32 40.1407 ( 0.00%) 41.2273 ( -2.71%) 39.9417 ( 0.50%) : : It's showing that the vanilla kernel takes a hit (as the bisection : indicated it would) and that disabling PSI by default is reasonably : close in terms of performance for this particular workload on this : particular machine so; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181127165329.GA29728@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Tested-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reported-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
